When turning and or braking at slow speed, I get a clunking or poping noise up by the steering column. It is most prevalent when turning to park the vehicle. It seems to be getting louder as time goes on. Anyone experienced this? Tnx: Howco4 |

We never had this before they replaced the head gasket & right cylinder head. The dealer has been consulting with the GM Techs and he warned us that the bottom line may be an engine replacement! We've only got 51,000 miles on our car but the good news is that we have full warranty til 60,000. We are now driving a courtesy 2004 Malibu until our car is returned. Another perk of the warranty. I can estimate that our car has spent nearly 6 weeks in the shop over the past 4 years and at least $12,000 in major repairs. Maybe once it's totally rebuilt it will be as depenable as it is fun to drive.

Dealer replaced bearings in the column, did not help. Then he sent all column for rebuild - no help... Then, when popping became just terrible, I went to the small garage and Mechanic pumped Lithium grease into the steering shaft, deep inside, putting turning and removing column 7-9 times, pumping additional grease every time. 78 months since then there is no problems - For 122 bucks! |

Replying to: mukherji (Dec 22, 2005 3:58 pm) I am having a very much similar problems with my 98 olds' intrigue. How was your problem solved? Was it very expensive? I send my car to a dealer and a mechanic told me I had this problem by a short try of driving. They said the cost would be around $1,200, which I do believe is somewhat to expensive. Do you have any idea which might be of some help to me? Thanks!

Hi guys, its my first time posting. I've read alot on these forums but I just need to be sure of some things, if you guys could help me out. I just bought a 1999 intrigue gsl a few weeks ago. Its in great condition....However, i have a slight clunkiness when I turn at slow speeds, and its now starting to squeel a bit when i turn. The car just feels a bit weak in the front steering column. Also I'm getting about 14 mpg city and part hwy. I know that, that sucks. I bought from the dealership and they said that they'll fix mechanical problems within the month. Ive brought it in a couple times and told them about my problems but they keep saying that they dont see anything wrong. Should I bring it in to another mechanic first to get the car diagnosed. I'm hoping that I didnt get jipped, I really want the car to run well. Can anyone please give me some advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx!
